HH - I work for a consulting company in Lafayette and currently I have 54 API 510 or 653 inspectors out for us and they are working from Portland, OR and Burbank, CA all the way to upstate New York and up and down the east coast. We also have some working right here in our back yard at local fab shops such as Crown in Patterson, and Acadian Contractors in the port of Vermillion. Total, we employ over 100 people, but 54 have the stamp and we are growing everyday.
The ones that travel for jobs that are out of state all make big bucks using the travel trailer method of living. As stated earlier, after one week, your expenses are paid and the rest is profit. You also get paid mileage so hauling it is not so bad either.
When you finish, come by and I can let you talk to some of the guys here to answer some of your questions. Another need that we have is NACE coatings inspectors. If you get that along with your CWI, that will increase your demand.
Good Luck!
